Product Description
Purpose
Purpose
The Broadmore 1750 is an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) service multiplexer
that enables connection of existing and future services through an ATM network. The
Broadmore allows users to implement tailored ATM strategies. This modular system
has flexible configurations for service access, network interface, and redundancy.
The Broadmore functions as an ATM network service access node that supports the
transport of existing broadband services (voice, video, and data) over ATM networks.
Typically, it is deployed at the edge of an ATM network as the ATM node element
closest to the customer. The Broadmore accepts signals from non-ATM-ready
equipment, converts the signals to standard ATM cells, and multiplexes the cells onto
a single ATM User Network Interface (UNI) port. The Broadmore accepts constant-
bit-rate (CBR) services. Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) and Switched Virtual Circuit
(SVC) services are available based upon the user-defined module configuration.
The Broadmore now includes FIPS 140-2 validated system management software that
meets the security requirements of Federal Information Processing Standard PUB
140-2.
